At Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, we’re committed to producing beverages that people love while helping to build a better future for our communities and the planet. In 2017, we launched our sustainability action plan, This is Forward, which places sustainability at the heart of our business strategy. The scale of the collective effort required to decarbonise requires us to trial, test, pilot, and scale innovative technologies which will help us decarbonise our business and the wider industry.
That’s why, this year, we’re kicking off our first open challenge designed to find the startups and bright minds capable of delivering the next generation of technologies which can help us work towards our sustainability goals.
